What? No flammable tear gas? No machine gunning people attempting to flee the flames?

The attempt at parallels in this thread to Waco are misguided.

Yes - the Branch Davidians had different beliefs, but that raid was primarily about gun control.

This one wasn't. It was about rape and the sexual molestation and exploitation of children.

While Koresh was also accused of sexual abuse, he was also accused of having automatic weapons at his compound (he didn't, they had completely legal Hellfire spring triggers). Furthermore, the Fed accused the Branch Davidians of have a meth lab there - which was completely false and was a lie generated so that military tanks, armored personnel vehicles, and helicopters could be brought to bear on the residents.

This was a raid on sick perverts who raped children and deserve to be locked up for good.

Short memory? Reno was also claiming child abuse to attacke the Branch Davidians.
